Comments for Uplyme Church http://www.uplymechurch.org.uk Joining in with the mission of God Fri, 20 Jan 2012 10:02:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Comment on Money matters… by Andy Hague http://www.uplymechurch.org.uk/money-matters/comment-page-1/#comment-4147 Andy Hague Fri, 20 Jan 2012 10:02:11 +0000 http://www.uplymechurch.org.uk/?p=4307#comment-4147 I think that we need to take a good look at the parish news and ask, 'What is it for'? At the moment it's not the most exciting read, I think that this is mainly the result of passive editorship; Robin is reliant on whatever is submitted. As a reader I'd like to see a bit more grit in the columns; people expressing views about church, worship, or other things in the parish, I'd like a letters to the editor bit. Interviews of interesting people in our midst. In other words we would benefit massively from active editorship. Do we have any literary people in the church who might take on this challenge? The PN goes through the letterboxes of everyone in the parish so for us as a church it's a massive missional activity, I think that we need to view the PN in this light and have a vision for it. I have never understood the aversion to advertising, this is surely a no-brainer if the news is making a loss. Take a look at the 5 Alive magazine (Kilmington - Shute - Dalwood - Stockland - Yarcombe) to see what an interesting Parish mag might look like. By the way nothing in what I've said is in any way a criticism of Robin's editorship, the way that the mag is set up at the moment means that it can't really be any better than it is.

I am a very active Christian, know the 'nativity' in every conceivable variation and was utterly pleased to get to know a NEW version of an old tale! Thank you Gavin; I am sure that your preaching is quite captivating too!! We need enlightened 'leaders' in our faith and if somebody has the natural intelligence and more than a grain of humour on top of being convinced of the gospel and displaying all this together with the 'good news' (as service is called in France - la bonne nouvelle) - THEN it looks like a recipe for a sure winner! I too look forward to more bible stories on beatbox! Kiki Bonjour Gavin

My grandchildren (ages 12 & 14) really loved it, too. Please do produce more episodes of Beatbox Bible in the future. It is so effective in confronting people who might never otherwise read the Scripture telling of the miracle of Christ's birth.
